• Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes shall not be considered incompatible with the initial purposes under Article 89(1) (purpose limitation)

• Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (data minimization)

• Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay (accuracy)

• Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) subject to the implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the Regulation in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the individual (storage limitation)

• Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures (integrity and confidentiality)

​

Processing is only lawful if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

​

• The data subject has consented to processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

• Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.

• Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.

• Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

• Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

• Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, particularly where the data subject is a child.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

​

To ensure the protection of your security, all of our information systems and storage are subject to rigorous security protocols.

​

All data stored in our system is securely protected and only accessible to our employees. Our employees are bound by strict confidentiality agreements, and a violation of this agreement would result in the termination of the employee.

​

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that our user data is secure and that users are protected, there is always a risk of harm. The internet as a whole can be insecure at times, and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

​

Minors must have the consent of a legal guardian for their data to be collected, processed, and used.
